Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Professor Toffee]

Matter of time before he's back in the fold.

Get Chelsea to iron out his game positionally and we'll benefit in a couple of years.

Last 3/4 seasons of his career back at Everton. Nothing surer.

meeting and greeting?

 

[Professor Toffee]

He will learn a lot from watching Kovacic

watching him on the TV while recovering from his next injury

 

[degsy]

The days of getting the likes of Jeffers back are over, will end his career at Southampton

Been saying similar for ages, before his 'personal reasons' for leaving...think Huddleston (the new Hoddle) ending up at Hull when they were in the prem

...yeah, thing of the past.

He's a worm who deliberately scammed the club out of £20m. He shouldn't be be allowed to buy a ticket to Goodison.

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

In fairness to Bobby, it was he who made me aware to the music of Jason Derulo...


...I didn't much care for it...

Jason's music is a lot like Bobby's football.

I hope Sarri benches him when Chelsea play us at Goodison, or it'll be like that Newcastle match when Speed had just joined them and got booed every time he went near the ball.

Was too young to remember that but looking back it was a shame. Speed and Barkley's departures were nothing alike, Gary was exasperated by the state of the club and Kendall struggling with the drink whereas Ross forced his way out for a bigger wage after being shown more love and patience than anybody (and scammed the club out of millions deliberately as he did so).

Speed was a better player, a far better man and, because of the fact he refused to slag the club publicly or reveal publicly what were obviously some very dark secrets, a far better Evertonian.

That's exactly how it should be. Act like a rat and you deserve to be treated as such.

Barkley that is, not Speed.

Playing well for Chelsea at the minute.

Prity average curly finger victim lately.

I think the reason why Speed got a hostile reception was because no-one really knew why he left at the time. It was painful to watch though. I felt sorry for him. IIRC this was also during the Johnson era, so the atmosphere at Goodison was toxic to begin with.

People knew, he just kept his mouth shut like a good Evertonian.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

And he didn't throw us under the bus.

from what I have seen mate he looks a bang average journeyman pro footballer. Showed a few good touches but his general play is absolutely nothing special. He's largely a passenger in that team.
